Help: How to change how title, series, author show in kindle
I'm new to this editing of ebooks. When I upload a book to my kindle I want to see the----book name, series name, series number and author. Using Calibre can you tell me how and where to make these adjustments?
I'm not real tech savvy so please be simple in your explanation. Thanks Fred |

@Fred95901 - you put a file name template in Preferences->Import/Export->Sending books
Lots of samples in here ==>> Plugboard, template, and custom composite column recipes BR |

Fred, I suggest using the Plugboard (template) rather than the filename template. You rarely get to see the filename from the Kindle UI

I use the following plugboard for title:
Code:
{title}{series:| (|, }{series_index:|Book |)} title (series, Book #) The Kindle will show you the unmodified author just fine. ![]() |
